Cognitive Distortions Poster

Talking about cognitive distortions to a child or teen will help them recognize faulty thinking. Cognitive distortions are automatic thoughts that may fuel anxiety and lower their self-esteem.

We created this poster that shows different cognitive distortions young people experience. Each distortion — e.g. catastrophizing, should statements, labeling, etc. — includes a definition and example of what it looks like. You can also offer ideas on reframing these thought patterns.
